Our group is called Section 2. We are a duo comprised of Michael O'Shea and Bruce Lee. The name was thought up after Bruce suggested it should have some connection with Michael's profession at the time, which was a mental health nurse. We perform to swing standards as well as modern "mash ups" from time to time.

We are both local boys from Southport. Michael went Christ the King High School and is currently studying Men's Barbering at Southport College. Bruce attended Birkdale High School and went on to study performing arts at Southport College.

We have been a couple for 2 and a half years, having met through FaceBook, and started off singing at karaoke nights. We enjoyed singing so much that we decided to challenge ourselves and enter The X Factor, twice, with this year's audition being televised. At the moment, we perform the regular swing standards, but we hope to expand our catalogue by performing revised versions of modern songs and more "mash ups".

Section 2 is pretty near the beginning of it's career. However, we are currently enjoying a surge in our popularity from The X Factor and have performed to crowds of 500 at the Ken Webster: Mentalist/Hypnotist show, Horseshoe Bar, Blackpool. Our fan page currently has more than 1000 followers.
